Who is the best Light Heavyweight in the world?

[IMDAZED]

Roy is going to beat Bernard, and it has absolutely nothing to do with their recent opponents.

Roy Jones lost me during the Calzaghe bout. He did next to nothing in the last six rounds and may be even worse against Hopkins who will bully him, make him miss and then feast in the latter rounds. Jones' lack of movement will seriously hurt him in this bout.

TOo much movement, too many punches, too awkward for this Roy to look good against.. as far as Joe.

This isn't a fight where I can somehow prove to you why I think Roy is going to win because everything that has happened in the recent past points to Hopkins winning the fight.

I still think Roy is going to beat Bernard, though.

if he fights with legs he might make it interesting
if not he'll just get roughed up on the inside

and the fight being at cruiserweight he's not gonna be throwing nearly as much combo's as he did against lacy at lightheavy(for the reason that hopkins is not a bodybag and also it's not at 175)

it's gonna be tough, but i think he might just pull it off(could also just be my fanboyism coming into play tho)

Don't worry it happens to me all the time

He certainly did. And looked his age in those final three rounds. Kinda like how he looked against Wright. Hopkins was outmanned in that fight. He may have won on some cards but he certainly didn't look like the winner to me.

Bernard lost to Calzaghe, there's no two ways about it. You simply can't win a fight if you don't throw punches against a guy like Calzaghe or Williams.

Hopkins is simply not active enough within the division to be called the best light heavyweight, even if you think he would beat Dawson. The only light heavyweight he has fought is Antonio Tarver. Dawson is cleaning the division out in the same time period.

I always keep it real, bud. Sometimes that lands you at odds with people.

thats their problem not mine...

dawson beat tarver more convincingly than hopkins did imo...2x

Hopkins scored an absolute shut out against a primer Tarver, in his first fight at LHW. Tarver hardly landed a thing on him.
